Security Wednesdays #9 - Local Privilege Escalation - NUS Greyhats
Speaker: Paul Craig
Presentation Description:
Although “getting shell” is often the goal of any penetration tester, in reality that shell has low privileges with limited access to the local host or the real treasures it may hold. To truly become a master of your domain you must be able to become UID 0 or NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM through a technique known as local privilege escalation.
This presentation will delve into the many methods of privilege escalation that exist in both Windows and Unix Systems and show you just how you can go from Hero to UID 0 in a flash.
